MORE ON RISLEY & MCCOLLUM'S HIPPODROME TOKENS

Bob Schuman writes:

In response to your article on the “RISLEY & McCOLLUM” token in the last issue of Ihe E-Sylum, I am the owner of the piece pictured. It was very interesting to read about the history of Thomas McCollum and the circus researched by Margaret Kirby. This type of historical background is one of the joys of collecting tokens.

From the numismatic perspective, I also own the very rare piece with the same obverse but with the reverse inscribed PREMERIE (which I take to be a misspelling of the word PREMIERE). I know of no other specimen, but would love to acquire an example with DEUXIEME on the reverse if one exists. Do any of your readers know of such a piece? Thanks again for producing the most interesting and informative publication in numismatics.
